The Genesis Offensive is the creation of a new human being at the expense of what we once understood as “human being.” The new human is a creation of digital technology, and the first offensive on our understanding of what it means to be human is on the psyche. How does digital technology change how we understand ourselves and how we relate to each other? What is created, and what is lost?

This conversation is deeply couched in the ideas of the thinkers we discuss and the previous work of myself and my guest. You must read our work and listen to our prior episodes in order to understand the context of these ideas.

First, read “Ghosts of the Digital Dimension” and “Genesis Offensive”

Then read “Digital Horizons” and listen to my episode “Demonology of the Internet” and make sure to follow us on Substack!!!!

*Quick correction. When I was explaining how new media “contains” old media, I said Greek drama contains Greek rhetoric. I misspoke, the Greek Drama contains myth.
